My (bad) experiences with the Treo 600 continue. It is an e-mail machine to be sure and it is superior to the P800 on this. The keyboard, while cramped, is very useful and after a while, better than grafitti. BTW, maybe now I understand why Palm didn't include native grafitti on the Treo 600 - the screen is so bad it feels like it's going to break! Obviously not good, but that is still two inputs versus one.
Also, memory managament on the Treo 600 sucks. There is no easy way to transfer files from the onboard memory to the SD card. That's the reason why the Treo 600 reboots during the day. Like the previous poster, some things on the Treo are just plain stupid. Ringtones and pictures MUST be stored in the internal memory to be used for caller ID. This quickly fills up limited memory space. The P800 can store all of it on the Memory Stick with no problems. Third party software must be purchased in order to acomplish this, which again is more $$$ for a very $$$ phone.
Palm Desktop software is really good and use it exclusively, since Outlook sucks.
Again, while the Treo 600 is a really good smartphone, the P800 is superior in many ways except software availability.
